Intro to Embroidery: Autumn Tea Towels

Welcome fall with a seasonal embroidery project—and a new set of skills!

In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll learn how to stitch 100% cotton tea towels with autumn motifs like pumpkins, acorns, leaves, mushrooms, and more. (Love Halloween? We’ll have spooky-themed designs, too.)

We’ll cover tools, steps for preparing an embroidery hoop, basic stitches, and how to work with store-bought and custom patterns. You’ll also explore ways to create texture and dimension with embroidery thread.

By the end, you’ll leave with 2 custom embroidered tea towels that you can display or use at seasonal gatherings. All materials provided and no experience necessary.
 
Format: 3-hour, one-time workshop, Adults & 15+. All. materials
